Design Imperialism vs. Humanitarian Design: One of the more interesting discussions of the year was about the role of design in solving social problems, and whether design interventions are imperialism or humanitarianism. The discussion started with a post by Bruce Nussbaum, and a dozen other writers weighed in over the next couple of months. We summarized the discussion and all of the articles here. On Change Observer, we had contributions by Robert Fabricant and Maria Popova.
